Don't follow the rules

Chapter 471: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Forty-Seven)
"Just... turn off the light bulb and drive forward to get out?" Tan Ai was skeptical. "Then what does it mean that I drove for so long just now?"

"You are so honest~" Ning Yao picked his nose and kicked the back of his seat. "Stop talking nonsense and do as I say. Step on the accelerator."

Tan Ai resigned himself to his fate and started the car again, increasing the speed as Ning Yao instructed. However, considering that he almost hit a pedestrian just now because of the instructions of this big brother who didn't have a driver's license, Tan Ai had to be careful and did not step on the accelerator completely.

But after turning the corner, the road they were familiar with still appeared.

"Still can't get out..." Chi Nian's hope, which had finally risen, was shattered once again, and he became completely depressed.

Ning Yao scratched his head. "That shouldn't be the case. I've already cut off their communications and lighting, and the large cranes have also stopped. Logically, if they drive fast enough, they shouldn't have enough time to pave the road behind them."

He kicked the back of the seat again: "Did you not step on the accelerator to the bottom?"

Tan Ai felt a little guilty: "Brother, even if my car is new, it's just an ordinary civilian car for daily commuting. It's not a supercar, let alone a Formula One car."

Ning Yao covered his ears: "I don't understand, Smecta."

Tan Ai explained: "This is the upper limit of my car."

Ning Yao understood this time: "Useless stuff."

Tan Ai originally wanted to defend his beloved car, but he was afraid that Ning Yao would do something beyond his control with his car, so he could only pretend to agree: "Yes, yes, my car is not good."

Ning Yao sat on the roof of the car, watching the busy gray-white figures in the distance still paving the road ahead of them with ease in the darkness.

He looked back and saw that the road he had driven on behind him had been torn up.

Ning Yao and his team had tried to turn around suddenly, but the gray-white figure reacted very quickly. If they couldn't find a means of transportation that could exceed the gray-white figure's reaction speed, it would be difficult for them to leave this purely hand-made "ghost wall".

Ning Yao could of course leave on his own, but that would be tantamount to handing Tan Ai and Chi Nian over to the gray-white figure as food.

It's not time to abandon them yet.

He found an excuse for himself: "It's not that I'm kind, just based on their names, they should still be useful."

The car was driving slowly in total darkness, and the garage's power supply had not yet been restored, which meant that now was the best opportunity to leave the garage. Once the other party had completed the repairs, his every move would be under the planner's surveillance again.

Even if he could release solar wind to destroy the equipment many times in the future, it would not be as rare as this opportunity.

After all, practice makes perfect, and the planner may soon come up with a complete response plan, making it difficult for me to find loopholes.

Ning Yao glanced at the group of gray and white figures, vomited dryly, and rubbed his stomach with lingering fear.

The planner must have deliberately targeted his swallowing skill. I don't know what kind of seasoning he mixed with these gray and white ghosts, but they taste very much like stale insoles. Even if Ning Yao was allowed to eat freely now, he would definitely not be able to finish a garage full of moldy insoles.

We must find a way to make these little devils stop.

Ning Yao's eyes rolled around, and suddenly he opened his mouth and spit out a bubble.

"Brother Tan, do you think we still have hope of getting out?" Chi Nian sank deeply into the passenger seat, asking in a crying voice while frantically writing a suicide note on his phone which was gradually losing signal.

The air conditioner in the car was still running, but Tan Ai was sweating all the way. He wiped his forehead and said, "Sister, I don't want to lie to you. I can only say that we should hope for the best and prepare for the worst."

Chi Nian: "How long can your car last?"

Tan Ai glanced at the gas tank: "If we drive at normal speed, it will take about a quarter of an hour." Chi Nian: "If we can't get out by car, we will definitely not be able to get out by walking..."

Tan Ai gritted his teeth and said, "Or I can put this last bit of gas on the line, step on the accelerator, and take another gamble. After all, if everyone dies here, there's no point in me keeping this new car."

Chi Nian wiped away her tears: "Brother Tan, it turns out that you didn't step on the accelerator to the bottom just now?"

Tan Ai was embarrassed: "I was a little numb when driving, and I didn't step on it properly for a while."

Chi Nian loosened the seat belt a little, turned around and was about to tell Ning Yao to try again, but found that Ning Yao had pulled up both legs at some point and sat entirely on the roof of the car.

A bubble gently floated down from the roof and passed in front of Chi Nian's window.

"He's on the roof of the car...blowing bubbles?" Chi Nian was confused.

"It's already this late, and he's really... really able to keep his composure. He's worthy of being the eldest brother." Tan Ai stared at the bubbles floating past him. He felt extremely sad in his heart, but he still had to grit his teeth and praise Ning Yao.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, bubbles outside the car window suddenly burst out from top to bottom like rain, and quickly spread everywhere.

"What is this?!" Tan Ai opened the car window and looked out in shock.

But Ning Yao was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car leisurely, with a circle of green translucent fish surrounding his body. These fish floated in the air, swimming around Ning Yao and spitting bubbles out frantically.

Like a spinning bubble shooter.

Seeing that both people in the car had shown their heads, Ning Yao kindly explained, "Didn't you say that your broken car can't go very fast even at the maximum speed? I'll help you reduce the difficulty a little. When I say speed up, you just rush forward at the same speed as before."

He pinched a bubble and handed it to Chi Nian: "Take it and play with it."

Chi Nian sat back in a daze, holding the bubbles in his hands.

"Girl, you really got into it?" Tan Ai sincerely admired Chi Nian's ability to accept for a second, then raised his head and asked, "Brother, what are these bubbles for? And where did this fish come from?"

Ning Yao was calm and composed: "Don't be too curious, just do your job well and wait for me to take you flying."

After that, he handed a bubble to Tan Ai and said, "Take it and play with it."

"How old am I and still playing this?" Tan Ai's face showed undisguised disgust, but his hand still honestly took the bubble and retreated back into the car.

The bubbles spit out by the ghost fish are not crystal clear, but emit a faint light green luminous glow. Countless bubbles fly, circling, and intertwining in the air, lightly touching each other and then quickly separating.

They soon filled the space before my eyes, from the floor to the ceiling, with every corner filled with these seemingly fragile bubbles.

The bubbles gently brushed against the walls and the ground, but did not break, instead making an indescribable rustling sound.

A gray-white figure who was busy repairing equipment was the first to notice the abnormality. It looked at the bubbles in front of it, and its brain seemed to crash for two seconds. Then it reacted and was ready to inform its companions immediately, but it was too late.

When the overwhelming bubbles pushed and shoved in front of the gray-white figure, the potential energy accumulated by the bubble wave was no longer something that these little ghosts could stop.

The tsunami-like bubble tide swept up all the ghosts and spirits along the way and trapped them in tight foam. The bubbles were sticky and flexible. Without the help of strong external force, the gray and white figures could not break free from the inside.

They could only watch themselves being swallowed up bit by bit by this horrible ocean of bubbles.
